honestly it's not hard at all. just be careful and don't put too much pressure on the screen.

i was thinking about using red also, but i thought it may look too pink since i left the white piece in.

Really, I doubt it... a white sheet can't exactly "tint" the red is at the top, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I always thought that having it like that wouldn't do anything.

yeah it would probably work fine. i may try it one day, who knows. i'd prefer the blue though probably anyways.

What I did to mine is remove that white sheet underneath. Makes the Apple logo MUCH brighter instead of diffusing it which is what that does. I thought about doing the vintage logo, but Im far too lazy for that at the moment. Looks good though Stevo, I thought you slapped a Fruit Roll Up on there for a minute though :laugh:

The vintage logo is done with one of the old stickers that used to come with Macs before they switched to the monochrome logo.

looks great! i wasnt sure how a blue light would look, but it actually really works well with the Aqua theme in Mac OS X.

A few other readers were commenting on haveing different coloured lights in their *books. i know a site ( here ) which has pictures of many different Mac customisations. a pretty nice site :p

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
